“You should have seen me at that age, scrounging for work, sluggin’ it out in the chorus, getting pushed down the stairs by Angela Lansbury…” ~Carolyn Dumont

 

If Charles Dickens and Jacqueline Susann had a creative love child; and if that child could sing and dance it would be Christmas Carolyn, the campy backstage adaptation of the classic, Christmas Carol. Conceived and written by Baldwin-Wallace graduate and MSS Artistic Associate Daniel Marshall, Christmas Carolyn, ushers in the holiday season with cheer, and more than a few laughs. The World Premiere, playing December 13th and 14th in the Brooks Theatre at The Cleveland Play House, is sure to be the theatrical event of the holiday season!


On Christmas Eve in Deerfield, Iowa the tired bus and truck company of ‘Sassy Lassy,’ is stranded in a blizzard. Carolyn DuMont, the star of 'Sassy Lassy' and the most hated woman in show business, has just completed her 9,999th performance in the title role.   When she demands that her cast skip their Christmas Holiday for a much needed brush-up rehearsal, the cast members revolt, locking her in the theatre overnight. Trapped alone on the stage, and guided by two ghosts (and the spirit of Ethel Merman), Carolyn faces her past and her demons to discover the true meaning of showbiz…oh and Christmas too!

Cleveland stage legend Hester Lewellen leads a top-notch cast including Kelly and Joe Monaghan, Joanna May Hunkins, Brian Marshall, and Kelvette Beacham as Marley’s Ghost. MSS Artistic Director Pierre-Jacques Brault directs the production with Eddie Carney serving as Musical Director.
